the glue-piece guard who brought energy, defense, and poise to BYU
In the 2005-06 season, Laura Stratton wasn’t a high-usage star, but she earned trust as a steady, team-first BYU guard who coaches clearly valued for her positive, competitive edge and practice habits. BYU recognized her with the Leona Holbrook Spirit of Sport award, noting she was consistently first to practice and brought a strong attitude. Her profile reads like a classic connector: tough-minded, reliable, and the kind of player who helps a roster function even when the box score stays modest.
